Building on feedback from the 29 million downloads of VLC media player 0.8.5, we bring you version 0.8.6 with many bugfixes, as well as a couple of new features we think you will truly enjoy. Most prominent are probably Windows Media Video 9 and Flash Video. Other important changes are improved H.264 decoding, better Windows Unicode support, a Fullscreen controller and Apple Remote support for Mac OS X.

Winamp recently released there new version i.e 5.23 . It is available in 2 versions to download . One is pro and the other is basic which is free. The new feautures thay added is

• Enhanced Media Liblary
• Capacity to Burn CD/s faster
• Faster Ripping
• Encode music to aac/wma/mp3

But most of these features are available in the pro version which is priced at 20$ . But still the memory usage is quite high . So i dont think i will be using it much as Foobar gives me much better option while playing games .

Came across this Player while searching for a player to play “.bik” files . It is quite a good player and converter though i havent tried the converter but i tried playing .bik files and they played ok . This is a good tool for the gamers who like to keep Videos of some of there fav games which are encoded in .bik format .

So for every gamer out there who wants to play the .bik files provided in the games , you need this .
